My personal problem with Blair is that, when pressed on his reasons for invading Iraq, he continually states that he took the action because, finally, it was his "passionate personal belief" that it was the right thing to do (with a quaver in the voice and an onion in the eye we have become accustomed to in the UK whenever he wants to appear sincere).
What this actually means is his Christian morality.
I have a problem with that. Surely the leader of a country should make serious decisions like this based on calm analysis and a careful weighing up of all the facts at his disposal, and this should not be prejudiced by "passionate personal beliefs".
As far as I'm concerned he's finished. I reckon he'll resign before the next election at best, unless anything underhand is made to stick in the coming weeks about improper practice about the intelligence which he used to justify war, in which case he'll be forced to resign.
Either way, good riddance!

It's not stupidity as much as ignorance, and his inability and unwillingness to learn. He's not very curious. And it's not a first-rate mind. I mean, you get him to a certain point in a discussion, and if you ever hear him talk about "my instinct" or "my gut tells me," then you know we're in trouble. Then you know we have left the realm of facts and logic and where we're going is something else altogether.
